What to (and what NOT to) bring onboard.
**Refreshments & Alcohol**
- Every PonTiki cruise is stocked with refreshments. Please remember PonTiki’s alcohol licensing strictly prohibits any hard liquor on the boats. We ask that guests not bring any hard liquor onboard, as the boat will be unable to depart.
**Food & Snacks**
- PonTiki does not provide food. We have relationships with catering companies and restaurants in the area that love to provide for our guests, so please ask us about those options. Guests may bring their own food and snacks. Due to the sometimes windy conditions on the water, and to prevent litter from flying off the boat, we ask that guests always bring their food and utensils in containers with lids.
**Coolers**
- Each PonTiki boat has coolers with ice that guests may use to store limited amounts of food or refreshments, so while guests are allowed to bring their own coolers onboard, please know that we do have cooler space available and additional coolers are not necessary.
**Dogs**
- Unfortunately, dogs are not allowed on the boat due to safety and hygiene issues.
*We thank you for understanding*
**Beach Stuff**
- PonTiki has footballs, floating lily pad, and more. Guests are encouraged to bring towels and sunscreen. However, we ask that guests refrain from aerosol (spray) sunscreen, as it gets onto everything (including food, couches, walls, and our staff!) when sprayed and generally causes a mess onboard. We thank our guests for understanding.
**Marijuana**
- We have a zero-tolerance policy regarding marijuana use, as it remains an illegal substance in the State of Florida. If guests are found to be using marijuana onboard, the cruise is required by the United States Coast Guard to return to port immediately. Any cruises canceled due to guests using marijuana will be charged the full cruise rate, regardless of when it was canceled due to a violation.
